My app's new version update get rejected for apple rule 5.2.1, here is message apple sent to me:
" Hello,
Thank you for your message.
To resolve the 5.2.1 issue, you may want to either:
- attach documentary evidence in the App Review Information section in App Store Connect
- or remove all protected album cover artworks in app icons, screenshots or previews without the necessary authorization.
We look forward to continuing with the review of your app. "
I was shocked that in the 1st and 2nd release I got passed. But they reject it suddenly in the 3rd release, does apple change its policy recently?
Well, my app is a music player, for screenshots(5.5 inch, 6.5 inch) in the previews I used some album artwork covers and apple think I need the permission to provide.
It is cleared, then I changed those screenshots with non-copyrights epic mp3 from "https://freepd.com/" which is declared as "available for commercial and non-commercial purposes" by their artist. But after my reply to apple saying about the changes and indicating the referenced website I used all those non-copyrights content, apple still send me the same email as above showed.
So I get confused, I know removing those screenshots may fix the issue as apple mentioned, but maybe someday I will need to use some of 3rd party things, thus I want to figure out further that could I use those non-copyrights music album artwork in my app? Or how could I provide documentary evidence? Where could find it?
